She was a young girl when she got romantically involved with the much older Elvis. Elvis was immature and shouldn't have pursued someone so young. Don't get me wrong-I love Elvis!!! However, I'm no fool and he was flawed like all of us. I feel sad for Ginger because she was pretty much shut out after his death and treated badly by fans and people that were close to Elvis. Also, nasty things were said of her. Bottom line is Elvis DID give her a ring and she was in his bed when he died. He did have serious feelings for her. Those feelings were probably changing for both but she was still considered his girlfriend who was wearing his ring at the time he died. I believe Elvis DID promise to pay off her mother's house. Why not? He bought houses for his maid, childhood friends so why not believe this was his intention. Elvis just didn't put it in writing. Therefore, the Alden family got nowhere in the courtrooms. I like how Ginger didn't run anyone down in the book. She didn't speak negatively about Priscilla and I know Priscilla never spoke badly of Ginger. In Priscilla' s book she spoke of Ginger being so young and taking care of Elvis was too much of an expectation for a girl of her age. So there you go. Sadly, because Priscilla is Lisa's mother and the ex wife of Elvis, she comes off representing anything Elvis. They were divorced and Elvis had MANY girlfriends during and after the marriage. Vernon left Priscilla in charge after his death and like it or not, she has done a great job keeping his memory alive. Ginger, I'm glad you wrote this book and hope you make a lot of money. Why not? Priscilla, Ann Margaret, Elvis' maid, Larry Gellar.Read more ›

I spent the past two days reading this book. I wasn't sure what to expect when I purchased it, but I felt it was important to read Ginger Alden's side to the story as I have always respected her as a person for being Elvis' last major romance and the last person to see him alive. I will admit, I was expecting it to be just another "Elvis book" telling us what happened and what didn't happen according to the author. I was proven otherwise. This book is superbly written. From the moment you begin reading, you are transported back in time and taken on a whirlwind journey. The writing is perfectly descriptive - not at all tedious to read or comprehend, but certainly not indifferent accounts of events as most other books on Elvis have been for me to read either, save for Larry Geller's "If I Can Dream" and a very few others.
Ginger Alden has managed to capture a perfect balance of being descriptive and yet "to-the-point" in her writing. I became absolutely transfixed by the magical world of Elvis Presley, an interesting and generous man with faults like you and me, but with an almost other-worldly presence that is punctuated by his strong Spirituality. The book made it wonderfully effortless for my mind to imagine seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling and even tasting Elvis' world - a world quite different to that of the everyday person, and not just because of the fact that this was the most famous man on the earth, but rather because Elvis was an incredibly unique soul. Ginger has succeeded in sweeping the reader into that world here in 2014, just as she was swept up into it herself in 1976. Most importantly, it reads like the truth. At no point did I feel I was reading a fabricated account of events, let alone a book of lies.Read more ›

I always wondered why you were one of the few that never wrote a book about your experience with Elvis. I appreciate you sharing your story. I wonder why you write on page 3, "my fiancé, Elvis Aaron Presley." His real legal middle name is Aron. There has always been a question why his grave stone says Aaron but in front of Graceland the plaque says Aron, his driver license, birth certificate, marriage certificate, military papers...all say Aron and now you too refer to him as Aaron. Elvis was very famous but so are a lot of people all over the world. The only other famous person that I know of that lived such a strange private life was Michael Jackson. Interesting that he married Lisa Marie. I can't for the life of me understand why Elvis felt that he couldn't travel, shop, eat in restaurants and do other things with normal everyday people. Yes, fans would be thrilled to see him out and about but so what. Famous people do it all the time in N.Y., L.A., Chicago...They acknowledge their fans and go about their business. You write on page 144 that you couldn't believe that Elvis...your boyfriend... was in your family den "like he was a neighbor from down the street!" He was your boyfriend. What was so unusual about him being in your family home? Throughout your book, I couldn't get over how shocked you always were when Elvis did anything outside the upstairs of Graceland. Could you imagine if you did marry him? Your life would have been living exactly what Elvis wanted to do. He was controlling and had a bad temper. I still don't understand either why he felt he had to employe so many people in his home? What was with all the body guards in his home and aids?Read more ›
